1 Day Tour to Petra – Daily Guaranteed Departure from Eilat and Tel-Aviv

The daily tour to Petra starts from the pick-up in the morning (07:30 am from the hotel or the airport in Eilat) and transfer to the Arava Border. After ending all border-formalities we will drive up to Petra through the "Desert Highway" and arrive to the "Rose Red City" - Petra - within 2 hours. We will enter the ancient city of Petra through the famous "Siq" - a narrow natural gorge that made the secret entrance to Petra. At once the valley of Petra will open in front of us, and we will see the famous "Khazane" ("Treasury"). We will visit the most famous monuments of Petra, carved in the red Sandstone and eat a buffet lunch (included) nearby, before we will return to our bus and leave Petra. After a short city-tour in Aqaba (the neighbor city of Eilat) we will reach the Arava Border and return to Eilat.

The tour inside the Petra site includes 8km walking and takes around 3.5-4 hours. One can use horses / donkeys / camels / carriages inside the site (some of the way). To be payable directly to the Bedouins.

  • Daily guaranteed departure from Eilat (every day, without exception)
  • Minimum participants not required
  • Discount for big parties.

Tour details

General
  • All participants should be on time and ready to go at their exact pick-up time.
  • Always double check that you have your passport with you!
  • The $60 per person for border fees & tips are not included in the price of the tour – it has to be paid directly to your Israeli operator at the border in USD – please try to have the exact change!
  • You can use Dollars or Euros in Jordan – we advise to use US Dollars. There is a bank at the Jordanian border if you need to change money, they take also Shekels.
  • Every person holding an Israeli passport has to use the Israeli passport to cross the Israeli border. Please bring such passport with you.
  • This tour is accompanied with an English-speaking guide throughout the day. He will be waiting for you on the Jordanian side of the border.
  • The meal in the tour is included but not the drinks. A bottle of water costs around $1-$1.5.  It is best to have $5-$10 bills for this purpose.
  • The horse ride at the end of the trail in Petra is included (only last ~600m when going out), but not the donkey/camel/carriage. If you would like to take the short horse ride know that the owner of the horse will expect a tip! (around $3-$5).
  • The Donkey/Camel ride costs $10, the carriage $30 for each way and there is place for 2 people. Note that the carriage is very bumpy!
  • In winter Petra is very cold (similar to Jerusalem). From November to March make sure to dress very warmly and use suitable shoes.
  • It is important to stay with the group the whole time of the tour, to make sure that you are back on time to the border. The border closes at 20:00pm.
